The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7155, aims to establish a working group tasked with studying the creation of uniform deadlines for filing applications for property tax relief specifically for individuals aged sixty-five and older, as well as veterans and members of the armed forces. The working group will be convened by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and will include representatives from municipal assessors and other relevant individuals appointed by the Secretary. The group is required to hold its first meeting within sixty days of the bill's passage and will be responsible for submitting a report by January 1, 2026, which will analyze the feasibility of implementing uniform deadlines and provide legislative recommendations.

The bill includes new legal language that establishes the working group and outlines its composition, responsibilities, and reporting requirements. Notably, it specifies that all initial appointments must be made within thirty days of the bill's effective date, and any vacancies will be filled by the Secretary. The working group will dissolve upon submitting its report or on January 1, 2026, whichever occurs later. The bill does not propose any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions to facilitate the study of property tax relief application deadlines.
